I would assume said code should never be part of actual deployments or only part of unit tests, maybe an external project even.

Totally. I have added wifi power outlets to installations because process restart, OS restart, and hardware restart did not get a system back up and running. Yes it was a startup, and yes it was remotely installed hardware.

Might be a bit strange as you are saying this is a example of bad planning but my employer was discussing this today. We had a hard time finding options, what did you end up deploying or did you develop your own in house?

You want to search for "PDU remote management"

Edit: Another term is Switched PDU

When I had this issue I just bought some cheap wifi 'smart sockets' which had some open-source firmware available and reflashed them. They even support reporting the voltage and current draw from the socket (though not particularly accurately) and toggling the power through a POST (with a password if set). Was very useful for power cycling various bits of hardware remotely.
